I may be corrected, but try sparkling water with a "touch" of lemon and splenda as well as regular water, that may help. Watch the amount of lemon though, it has carbs. I also use crytal lite - it has asparthame though which isn't good for some - it doesn't affect me negatively at all.

I'm wondering what you get for $150 a month for the family in groceries, I may need some tips from you - my groceries are about $700 + per month for two people.

Good luck.
